This has nothing to do with me.

Question of the moment: Do you want to know which one of these things was a lie? How about these things?

1) I’ve delivered academic papers at international conferences.
2) I haven’t seen my father since I was five.
3) My parents go to Conservative club barbeques.
4) I lived in nine different houses by the age of six.
5) I smoke thirty cigarettes a day.

I’m posting crap today. I can feel it rising within me. A great “What the fuck am I doing?” is running through me. Too many things to think about (bloody Barbelith). I’m just going to run with it though. After all, the only other things I have to do today are pay in cheques, clean the bathroom, apply for three jobs, send out CVs to web design companies looking for freelance work, ring up a thousand film distributors, pay two bills, go to the gym, sunbathe for a bit and get in town by eight to get drunk.

Which reminds me. Can anyone figure out what’s wrong with my permalinks? I can’t be bothered to sort it out for myself.

Oh dear god, I’m Lenny Kravitz. Thanks, so much, Luke.

Today’s slightly unusual search request is ‘jobs at fray.org’, which I only wish existed. Fray.org being, for those of you who are new to this stuff, Derek Powazek‘s IRL parallel to fray.com.

In case you are wondering where Metafilter is:

The network host for Pyra’s offices, FirstWorld/Sirius has cancelled the connection. They’re no longer in the business of selling T-1 lines. Ev didn’t read the e-mail they sent him about it. (Don’t these companies send letters?)

Also hosted on that server are: blogspot, newsblogger, megnut, evhead, onfocus.

From the second page of a Suck article, come visualise with me: “Imagine, for a moment, that you’re not crazy, that you can set attainable goals and achieve them instead of languishing for years, unfulfilled. Let’s pretend, for just a minute, that you are not completely fucked and that you can seek intimacy from other normal, healthy individuals without alienating them or freaking them out… Oh, your concentration is breaking up. Maybe we tried to do too much in one day…”

And I quote: “Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! Are you gay (or cute enough to try out for the team)? Are you a blogger (or thinking of starting one)? Do you live in London (or anywhere near by)? If so, come and join us upstairs at Compton’s on Wednesday 30th May from 8pm onwards for London’s 1st Gay Bloggers Meet.”

Quote from an unlaunched project: “Creativity and inspiration are the enemies of truth, but without them truth couldn’t exist. They are the things that shape truth, that it emerges from, just as quickly as it finds itself smothered by them.”

The nicest thing that’s happened to me recently on the web. I’m featured site over at the perils of leisure. Again more impetus to try and think of something interesting to write about rather than all this tedious old self-promoting guff.
